In a medium-large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder,
salt, and 1 tb granulated sugar.
With two knives, cut the shortening into the flour until mixture is
mealy.
Make a well in the center and drop in the egg and milk.
Stir in the flour mixture to form smooth batter, turn into greased
2-quart mold.
Arrange the apples in rows on top, pushing them halfway into
the dough.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg and 2 tablespoons
sugar.
Sprinkle over the apples and dot with apricot jam.
Drizzle butter over all.
Place in the slow cooker and cover loosely with a plate.
Cover the cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a
toothpick or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape.
Cook on High for 3 to 4 hours.
